South end of St. Pete Beach


Kick off your flip-flops and let the sands of Pass-A-Grille Beach offer your tender tootsies solace. Perfect for a romantic getaway or family vacation, the beach is an oasis of tranquility. Get out your blanket and snuggle up to watch the sunset slip into the ocean while the dolphins play and teach their young to catch fish.

Pass-A-Grille BeachPass-A-Grille BeachPass-A-Grille businesses cater to a gay-friendly community and offers families and couples an alternative to crowded beaches. Stroll streets lined with quaint boutiques and unique inns or just enjoy the white sands, dolphins and pink shells along the beach.

Accommodations: Luxurious apartments, cottages, beach front inns and private hideaways are all available on the beach.

Pass-A-Grille Local Activities: Swim, sunbathe or discover the sand dunes along the beach all before curling up to watch the sunset. Or take a sunset cruise along the coast as you take in the view and watch the bottlenose dolphins play in the ocean.

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Julia Rosien said "Great to meet you as well, Terri. And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
